  • 2 tablespoons dark or light brown sugar
  • 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Stir soy sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Prick pork chops all over with a fork and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in half of marinade, seal bag, and turn to evenly coat pork chops. Set remaining marinade aside. Let pork chops sit at least 10 minutes, or chill up to 1 day (cover and chill remaining marinade too).
